Notable: Both teams have had quick turnarounds. In 2010 Bowling Green went 2-10, and San Jose State went 1-12. The Spartans' high-scoring offense (35.3 ppg) faces a stingy defense (15.8). San Jose State QB David Fales leads the nation in completion percentage (72.1) and ranks fourth with a 170.9 passer rating. He has 31 TDs and nine INTs. Falcons DT Chris Jones was the MAC defensive player of the year (12½ sacks, 19 tackles for loss).
